The Honors Practicum offers honors students the opportunity to put into practice knowledge and skills they have gained at Randolph. Students initiate and carry out an interdisciplinary project in collaboration with a community organization rooted in their interests and goals. Working on the project from start to finish helps students cultivate a wide variety of skills including research, cross-cultural communication, project management, time management, collaboration, resource development and problem-solving. The practicum also features a reflection component, further developing the skills of peer and self-assessment. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: Junior standing. Open only to students in the Honors Program.

The Honors Colloquium provides a common honors student experience that encourages peer mentoring and support. Honors students meet with distinguished campus guests, take trips, discuss contemporary issues and research, and learn to make connections across disciplinary boundaries. Students also develop the skills to reflect on their own learning and development. Credit hours: 1. Students take two before graduation for a total of 2 credits. Open only to students in the Honors Program. In consultation with the Director, students may be allowed to substitute a different experience for one colloquium (such as Study Abroad).
